What Do I Need to Do?

Students must request the University's permission to allow the presence of a service animal or assistance animal on University property. Permission will be granted only as a reasonable accommodation for a documented disability. Please see the SDAC Housing Accommodations page to learn more and request an accommodation.

How Do I Make a Request?

All requests for service or assistance animals are received and reviewed by the Student Disability Access Center (SDAC). For more information, contact SDAC at 434.243.5180 or send an email to [email protected].
